December...again...and January update!

With recent and upcoming events in December...we will not be having a "meeting" this month! Feel free to still read The Kite Runner if you want. We will resume on January 16th at my house! I've picked The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger...more details will be sent in the E-vite.

I have really enjoyed our Girl's night each month...and I hope you girl's have too! It's not really about the books...but about the friendships!! I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday!! Enjoy the time with your families and I hope to see you all in January...feel free to bring a friend!

Also, Congratulations to Jenni on her cute baby boy, Bear! He is just adorable!

December

Tieya's pick for December is The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini!

Twilight Movie...Future Events

So girls...what did you think? I was a big fan of the jumping through the trees scene, even though it wasn't in the book. How fun would that be!?

And the other reason for the post is to ask what we are reading for next month's get together. I better have a baby by then and hopefully a few spare moments to read as well. So what's it gonna be, Tieya?

ONLY 8 MORE DAYS. YAY!!!

November

I know you all already know...but we are going to see the Twilight Movie Friday, November 21st at the Gateway Theatres at 8:30 pm. We are sitting in row K so if any of you thought of bringing someone they can try to get tickets nearby. I can't wait!! Do we want to dinner before? Tieya suggested Thai Siam at 6:30...any other ideas?? Whatever works for me!! Here is a little eye candy for you to enjoy....!!!

I will never get tired of looking at this face!!

I don't know about you...but I'm really looking forward to that one scene of sensuality!!
Mmmm...
Yay for Twilight Geeks like me!

What is the deal for Nov?

So the movie comes out on a friday what is the deal? How are we going to make this work?

New Twilight Pictures!

I had to post some of these awesome pictures I saw on the German Twilight sight...check them out...there are a ton of new ones!! So excited for November 21st!!

Also, in case you did not know...a new trailer for the movie will come out on friday...available on the website...or myspace!!

October

Okay Ladies I thought it would be fun to read a mystery of some kind for October. The book is called The Lovely Bones and the author is Alice Sebold. Leslie's sister-in-law told her about it and she said it was really good. I will let you know more details as is gets closer......Marcie

September

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up. Jenni picked Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen. I'm sure she will remind you all about the time/details later...Happy reading!

Heck YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!

Movie News Flash!
So, many of you have heard that the release of the sixth Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, has been moved from this Thanksgiving to next summer. First and foremost, please know that this schedule change has absolutely nothing to do with Twilight, me, or Summit Films (so enough with the imdb death wishes, okay?). This is Warner Bros. decision, and it was not motivated by anything Twilight-related.
Now for the good news! Though we're all sad to have to wait for Harry Potter, this open spot at the theater creates a cool opportunity. The good people at Summit were thrilled to let me know that now Twilight fans are going to get their movie three weeks earlier than scheduled. That's right—Twilight will be released in theaters November 21st! Let the merry-making commence!

Breaking Dawn

I don't know about all of you, but I am dying to talk about this book! So if you haven't read it yet...you need to get on it! I don't want to spoil it for anyone at our meeting next week...but I don't know if I can contain myself from talking about it!! I will send out an invite at the end of the week to remind you all about the meeting on the 15th...happy reading! Hope you guys all have a great week!!
~Leslie :)

Just a note...

So I haven't posted anything in a while...so I thought I would write a little something. I think our book club is going really well...no matter how dumb our husbands think we are!! So we've decide that when it is your month to host our little get together you get to pick the book that we are "supposed" to discuss. So come prepared to let everyone know the month before you are supposed to be the host. It's also up to the host to send out invites to remind everyone...email seems to be easiest. August is a no brainer!! We will all be reading Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer. I think we have all eagerly waited for this book to come out...and it will probably be the first month that we will all read the book that is picked! Anyway, I hope you are all having fun with this like I am...it gives me an excuse to get away from the hubby and kids!

See ya on the 15th!! Thought you might enjoy this pic... :)

Only 3 more days!!

Twilight Teaser Trailer!

Yay! It's finally here! The Twilight Movie trailer! Thought you'd all enjoy...check it out!

Thanks to Twilight Lexicon!

Uh Oh!!

Okay Ladies. I just figured out that my cousin is getting married Friday the 16th. I know it is horrible notice but if we could switch it that would be great considering it is at my house!!
Also my birthday is Friday June 20th. If we can't switch that one it is fine because it isn't at my house. Let me know!!

More Twilight!!

Okay...I'm sure you all know by now that I'm obsessed...but for those of you who haven't seen this yet...here you go.

Book Calendar

We had lot's of fun at our March Meeting...and we missed those of you who could not come! We decided to put together a calendar so that we can all know ahead of time what to read and who's house it is at. If changes need to be made, please let me know!!

March Meeting!!

Okay, we are doing this month's meeting on the 21st instead of the 14th. I've talked to some of you and I agree that the 3rd Friday of every month would work out best so that we can always plan on it being that day. Also, I don't know if all of you finished reading Wuthering Heights, but this will give us an extra week! So Friday, March 21, 2008 at 7:30 PM at Leslie's house! Also we are just having dessert...so make sure you eat dinner!! I will send out invitations about a week before just as a reminder...but come prepared with some suggestions of books to read and we'll try to compile a list of what we will be reading each month. Happy reading!!

New Book Club Blog!!

Hello Everyone!

I thought this would be a fun and less confusing way to keep track of what we are reading. I have invited everyone I could think of to have permission to post on this blog. But if you have someone that you want to invite just let me know so that I can add them.

We had our first official book club "meeting" on the 15th of this month, and I thought it was really fun! Although not everyone read the book assigned (only two of us did) it was still fun to see everyone and catch up on all our crazy lives. We spent some time talking about all the different books we were all reading or have read. And then we spent some time venting about our husbands and eating yummy food! It was a true "Girls Night Out" and I think we all deserve one of those more often! We hope that more of you will be able to attend next month!

We decided to read Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte for our March meeting. So those of you who have not read it...you better get crackin' (myself included)! We are meeting on March 14th at Leslie's house again (unless someone else wants to volunteer) at about 7 pm. I will send invitations out again about a week before. Until then please feel free to post blogs about books you've read, your reading now, or want to read. Also, share any fun recipes that we may want to try at our meetings!!
